I want to see her too. Dnt know if i can handle it though.
yea thats why i stayed away and did my praying throughout the days!!!......i would breakdown if i had to see leisa like that!!!!
I cant flood her ICU room with visitors now, The next day or so will be hard enough for family to sit with her but I will have a viewing when she passes so we all can hold her hand and say goodbye. But right now she is resting, she isnt in there anymore, Now its just her body, But that doesnt make it any easier. Once he confirms the brain acitivity issue, And her son gets here and can see her, I will be making the decision to remove her from the ventilator so I can let her rest.

R.I.P Leisa, You are never forgotten - 10/7/08
I know. I was just saying i want/wanted to see her. i kinda feel like i let her down by not going but the truth is she knows how i feel about the situation so i need to quit being a wuss. U know that feeling u get "if i had shown up..." thats how i feel.
I dont want to accept this. I truly dont but Brett we're all here for you, so if you need anything just let us know. Ill pray for her like always.
I'm so sorry.
I don't know what else to say.
I am speachless. I don't know what to say, and don't know you all personally other then post on here. I am sincerely sorry. Just remember everything happens for a reason. It's just meant to be, remember the good things. I know nothing we say can make the situation better. Just keep your head up, and lean on your friends who are there for you. It sounds like she was more then just a great person and touched many people. That was her meaning. You keep all your memories of her and you together forever. I pray for you, family, and friends.
brett, my heart goes out to you and your family, i dont know the pain you are going through and i hope i never do, we are praying for you all and if theres anything we can do down this way dont hesitate to let us know

Once people start to accept death a part of life everything comes in easier. Your story is truly sad and is a good way to show others that life's really too short and that anything can be taken over night. I don't know you personally but this does bring some feelings to be because like I said, I've been there before.
Once again good luck and stay strong man.
it wont ever be easy....
for those of us that know her she brought so much to us so much that it's hard to face that you wont ever be able to hug or talk to her again. Im already crying like a little girl right now and I hate crying but this woman means so much to me...more than she will ever know

oh man.....I have no clue, as to what I should say. I've been praying more than I ever have since I have read about this. It's an awful situation, and life isn't fair. I know it hurts, I've been there, but it wasn't my spouse. Things happen for a reason, and God has a plan for everyone. Just look at it like that, I know it's seems as if you have something getting taken away from you, but who knows....Lesia could be giving life to another, but most of the time we don't see it that way. I know this probably doesn't make any sense, but I am sitting here reading possibly the saddest things in awhile, and I admit....I have tears in my eyes. I will continue to pray, and I will try my hardest to help out with a donation. Stay strong Brett, be strong for your family, and don't harp on the bad things going on right now, but think about all the great memories shared together. Keep hanging in there, buddy. My heart goes out to you and the family.

Damn bro I just read that and started tearing up... Idk what to say... stay strong bro..
Brett,
I am so sorry it has come down to this. Just stay strong through this. You have a lot of good friends who will be there to help you as you need it. I had tried to send you a donation when all this first happened but punched in the email address wrong. I sent you another one with a little more for the delay. I only wish it was more. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Wow Brett... I'm very sorry to hear that news... Staff infection is a messed up thing, I've dealt with that in my family as well.. She is still in my prayers, and at the very least, she isn't in pain. Really not sure how to respond, but ya.. thats devestating news.. Never met Leisa in person (nor have I met any of you) but I know when I think of IA personalities, Julio, QD, and Brett & Leisa (always said in the same breath) are the people I think of. She is a great person.
Brett, I am so sorry man. Remember there are lots of great people around you that will give you the both the space and the support you need.
Brett we all meet before and man.. i wanna say.. I havent shed a tear in so long and right now my eyes are watering cuz.... man .. my prayers are with you man .. I"m soo..........
man.... i can't even read these no more man . I just can't
Brett,
I'm soo sorry man!I'm seriously at a loss of words right now! Like most have already said, stay strong! All I can say is just remember all the goods times you both shared and with all of us! Remember all the crazy wing nights at Wild Wing and Hooters, and all the fun times we all had at car shows! I can't even imagine being in your shoes now, but try to think about the good times! Stay strong my friend!
Brett,
I'm soo sorry man!
i know i keep replaying things over in my head
VAL FOR PRESIDENT
hey man i really dont know you that well and reading the threads over the last few weeks have actually wished i would have met you... i am sorry for your situation... i wish i could afford right now to give some help... i will keep you in my prayers... keep your family and friends really close during this time trust me i know...
NO NWS
Brett, I don't know what to say man other than I am so sorry. I wish we could have all heard the knews that she had woken up and that you two were together again. Life has it's way of handing us these hard times. Your dream said it all man. She came to you to tell you that it was ok to let go. She will certainly be in a better place after all this. I can not begin to imagine what you are going through on the inside, but I know that no matter what her life will be celebrated and you will have all the support you could ever hope for. Again man, I'm so very sorry.

I am at a loss of words........ Brett, I don't know what to say......my heart goes out to you. I can barely type.... I am so shocked, as I have been following the whole situation daily with the hope that things would have turned out better.
You have endured the unimaginable. Yet through all this, it has taught all of us the value of love even more, to cherish every minute of life and never miss a moment to express your feelings to your loved ones.
You are very strong.. I couldn't imagine what I would do in such a situation..... You also have a lot of support and people that love you.
I will continue to keep you in my prayers, and wish you strength throughout these sad times
I got free clear tails with my ride.....
I keep checking these threads every few hours waiting for Brett to post that she woke up. I guess that's just not going to happen.
God always takes his best soldiers early...
brett my thoughts are with you man they really are. I know that feeling I just Lost a really close friend saturday night and just got back from the wake a few hours ago. These things happen just stay strong man you know we are all here even those of us who havent met you in person like myself. Just keep your head up man.
I am sooooooooooo sorry to hear that man...really...
I cant imagine what you are going through!!! Keep your head up!! Your family is in my prayers!
Man, I can't read this
I'm sorry Brett.

Sorry to hear man... I have been curious to see what has been happening, but it has hurt to read, so I kinda tried to stay away from the thread... and hope for the best. My prayers are with you man. Love ya. Anything at all I can do. Seriously, let me know!!! I mean it!!! We are here for ya. No matter what.
Back to being stock and slow
brett, i dont personally know you or leisa, but ive followed all (or most) of the posts of her status on here, and i want you to know that i have prayed every night for you and her since the first thread about it, and will continue to do so. i cant even begin to imagine what youre feeling and having to deal with right now, not to mention the rest of the people who were close with you two. its obvious that you truly loved her and that in itself is hard to come by these days. i cant imagine where id me without my girlfriend, and we have only been together for ~2 1/2 years.
stay strong and do what you feel leisa would want you to do. i wish there was ANY way i could help, but i know nothing within my reach would make 2 ****s difference right now. stay positive for the kids and keep your head up. im sure you will see her again when the time comes.
The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later.
I'm sad to hear this news...we are with you Brett.
i wish i knew the words that would make you feel better... but the truth is, the world is unfair. life is unfair. some things happen and we will never know or understand why they happened. trying to figure it out only makes it harder. i pray that God gives you the strength to endure these hard times....
Dang Brett, I really don't even know what to say man. We all prayed this entire time for a miracle. Everything happens for a reason though, as overused as that saying is it is true. I really hate to read this, I tried every weekend to find a chance to come down but funds/gas crisis wouldn't allow so. As everyone else as said my heart goes out to you man, no one knows how you feel, it has to be rough, but time cures everything. If there is ANYTHING I can do, please feel free to tell me and I'll do everything in my power to make it happen. We have all been with you through all of this, and will continue to be.

brett, this is killin me, man!! i'm so sorry that you and the kids are facing this! i have to say this tho... i'm proud of you! you've shown such strength and support of her. every time i talked to you, you were trying your damnedest to stay positive. it seems like you've come to grasp what it is that you have to do, and that is NOT an easy task. not for you nor any of us. let me know when/where any services are going to be held and i'm going to try to get my work covered so i can be there. i'm gonna miss her man! i really am. just know that she's going to a better place where she wont be hurting anymore, EVER again. if i can help you in any way, you need to let me know. brett, i love you like a brother and leisa like a sister. both of you mean alot to me as we've been through so much over the years. both good times and bad, i look at it as a growing experience, and i thank you for that.
hey.. i dont even know u but my heart still goes out to u. best of luck man. take care!
Brett,
I'm sorry to hear what you have been going through. I, like many others have not had the chance to get to know you or Leisa on a personal level.
Right now words can only help so much, but the Man upstairs sometimes works in crazy ways... ways that no-one can comprehend. I know it seems like all the prayers had no answers, but dont look at it that way, instead see it as how huge of an impact Leisa was to others on here and to the community.
Never grieve over the past as it is gone, never be troubled by the future as it hasn't happened yet, but live in the present and give it your all so its worth remembering.
If you need anything, feel free to shoot me a PM. I'm rarely on IA anymore.
dont take anything i say srsly. its the interwebs.
stay strong Brett! our prayers are with you and your family!
Damn Brett I dont know what to say.....all I know is that I have been reading all the threads to see new posts to see how Leisa was doing...and Ive been waitng for the one from you saying that she is back. Like I said I know know its been forever since I have seen you guys...but I would have never seen anything like this happening to Leisa or you of all people...all I can say is Im truly sorry. Sometimes the power of love just isnt strong enough to bring people back to life but the point is you did EVERYTHING you could and look at all the support you and Leisa had!! Thats amazing all in its own!! and no matter the out come you know you have all these people for support. I hope the best for you and hope God grants you the strength through these next couple days.....my prayers are still with you guys.

Today the Dr. will come in and confirm what they think, and then this evening or tomorrow morning I will have to decide to have her ventilator turned off. I am thankful god is allowing me to have a chance to have her in my arms when she passes, so I then know she wasnt alone, and she was never alone. I love her so much and facing a life without her smile, her voice, her comforting ways will be a true test of me.
Thank you all though for the words, I cried reading every line. I will keep you updated.

R.I.P Leisa, You are never forgotten - 10/7/08
I don't really think this belongs in the whoreslounge.... just not a very fitting name for the situation... 'tis all.
Regardless, Mr. Brett... *hug*. I don't know you or your wife personally, however, I have exchanged a few messages via Myspace with Leisa regarding IA once upon a time. It seems as though you two have a lot of friends around these parts and are loved by many, which speaks highly for the Brett/Leisa team in the eyes of the few who wern't privledged enough to know her. You've got a lot of great friends on this site who are here for you... and even a few strangers willing to help a hand in a time of need. I'll keep Leisa and your family in my prayers.
brett. you have my thoughts and prayers. i have been praying and thing about you two non stop. i just don't know what to say. you two have been around for so long, making this board and people's lives great. i don't think i ever personally met either of you, but that wasn't needed. you and her were so great. coming on here, posting up and seeing yall run wild on people. it just made everything so awesome. you being the bad boy and her comin in and giving you the pimp slap to be nice to people! lol. i loved every second of it. she will be greatly missed. i remember i would get random reps on here from here and i didnt even know why.
my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. i wish there was more then any of us could do.
